Chrysididae of the Ethiopian Region

[Euchroeus]

Dear All,

it's published the updated catalogue of the Chrysidids of the subsaharian Africa.

M. Madl. & P. Rosa (2012) - A Catalogue of the Chrysididae (Hymenoptera: Chrysidoidea) of the Ethiopian Region excluding Malagasy Subregion. Linzer biologische Beiträge, 44 (1): 5-169.


Abstract : Currently the family Chrysididae is represented by 32 genera and 428 species in the Ethiopian Region. Several taxonomic changes concerning combination, status, synonymy and emendation have been proposed. Replacement names are proposed for Chrysis pusilla MOCSÁRY 1908 = Chrysis pusillima ROSA & MADL new name and Holopyga capensis EDNEY 1940 = Holopyga manuelae MADL & ROSA new name. Cephaloparnops BISCHOFF 1910 and Stilbichrysis BISCHOFF 1910 are elevated to generic level. A list of doubtful taxa is added.


We have used the borderline of countries for limitation of the Ethiopian Region. All countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea and Spanish Sahara are excluded from the Ethiopian Region. We have included the all adjacent islands (e.g. Bioko), Socotra (part of Yemen) and the Mid-Atlantic Ocean islands of Ascension and Saint Helena. Yemen, which is situated on the Arabian Peninsula and often considered as part of the Ethiopian
Region, is excluded. This definition of the Ethiopian Region differs from KIMSEY & BOHART (1990: 18 (text, fig. 1: map)).

In the paper about 660 Chrysidid names are listed with complete bibliographic references.

Samples from the catalogue:

Originally described as Chrysis propingua (MOCSÁRY (1889: 343, also index)) de DALLA
TORRE (1892: 86) corrected propingua in propinqua without realizing the printing error.

synonym of Chrysis nisseri DAHLBOM 1845), KIMSEY & BOHART (1990: 343).

The lectotype designation of Chrysis mionii GUÉRIN-MÉNEVILLE by Bohart (In: KIMSEY & BOHART 1990: 439) is in error, because the original description is based only on the holotype, which is conserved in the Museo Civico di Storia Naturale "G. Doria" in Genova.
As the name of the collector (Oberthür) is mentioned in the original description, the emendation of the name by BISCHOFF (1913: 56) is justified and the right spelling is Chrysis oberthueri du BUYSSON. Oberthür is a German family name.
